This Our Dark Country: The American Settlers of Liberia

136 pp. | Clarion | November, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-618-14785-3 $$17.00
(3) 4-6 In this thoroughly researched and well-written, readable history, Reef traces the "great experiment" that was the colony of Liberia, founded in 1822 as a haven for free African Americans. Wide outside margins create plenty of space for cogent quotations and detailed captions that clarify the archival photographs. Letters, diary entries, and photos of many early settlers personalize the account. Bib., ind.
